Science - Agriculture / fertilisers | | French term or phrase: à gaine éclatée | Céréales
2 passages :
- décollement de l’épi,
- sortie dernière feuille à dernière feuille étalée / ou ***1 passage à gaine
éclatée*** à 1 L/ha
I'm not sure if I have the correct term for 'à gaine éclatée'. The text discusses the use of a fertiliser on cereal crops.
Many thanks in advance!

| Grading comment Thank you both for your answers - I was not sure which to choose. However, in the end, I think that it may be best to be more precise here because the boot stage encompasses different events. The moment when the flag leaf sheath opens appears to correspond to the 'gaine éclatée' - as far I can see. It may be possible to call this the 'pre-boot' stage too - I'm not 100% sure. In any case, I wish I could divide up the points as both answers have been of great help. Thanks again! Sheila

Explanation:
See these documents, which give, in Fr. and Eng. (but they are not translations of one another), the stages of the cereal growing process:
